Under open-flask conditions in the presence of commercially available FeCl3·6H2O, N,N-disubstituted anilines can be converted into diversely functionalized benzidines with yields of up to 99%. Oxidative coupling was extended to N-monosubstituted anilines, and the method was applied to the efficient preparation of 6,6′-biquinoline. Mechanistic investigations have also been performed to explain the observed

A new reagent system, a combination of iodic acid and sodium nitrite has been investigated for oxidative coupling of N,N-disubstituted anilines. A facile para-selective coupling occurs to give benz...
The iron(III)-promoted free radical oxidation of anilines has been further developed. Anilines including those bearing strong electron-withdrawing groups on benzene ring were readily converted into corresponding self-coupling benzidines. With addition of base, the methyl on nitrogen was activated and the free radical oxidations tended to furnish the corresponding self-bridged assembling diaminodiarylmethanes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Electrochemical synthesis of symmetrical benzidines through dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction
Synthesis of diversely functionalized symmetrical benzidines through electrochemical dehydrogenative cross-couplingreaction of two N,N-disubstituted anilines, is described. The reactions conducted under mild conditions with no oxidizing reagents and transition metal catalysts.
